Stormy Weekend On Deck…

After a pleasant Friday (sky conditions, temperatures, and humidity levels), we’ll begin to flip the script to a stormy one late Friday night and off and on over the weekend.…

Showers and thunderstorms have been noisy for some this morning and included vivid lightning.  As morning storms push east, a second round of thunderstorms can be expected as the actual cold front passes the region this afternoon.  We’ll note showers and embedded storms redeveloping around the lunch time hour just north of the city and as these press southeast, a couple strong to severe storms are possible primarily south and southeast of Indianapolis.  A much cooler, drier air mass will build in this evening and set the stage for a beautiful close to the work week, complete with unseasonably cool temperatures.

The weekend will provide a temporary moderation in temperatures, but we’ll remain busy tracking rain chances.  While it won’t rain the entire weekend, a couple of disturbances will create a rather unsettled couple of days.  We actually think Saturday into Sunday poses the best shot of widespread rains we’ve seen over the past couple weeks.  That’s a good thing for a region now more than 2.30″ below normal for the month.  As we move into next week, the big story will be temperatures that are very much like fall as we get set to wrap up July.  Monday and Tuesday’s highs aren’t a typo- we’re forecasting upper 60s for highs.

Summer Warmth Quickly Fades To A Much Cooler Pattern (Again)…

The overall weather pattern over the course of the upcoming 7-10 days will be one that we’ve grown quite accustomed to.  In the midst of a warmer and more humid couple days (back to seasonal and slightly above normal levels), confidence continues to grow on a pattern that will feature well below normal temperatures as we put a wrap on July.

Here are a couple of maps we created this evening depicting the upper air pattern week 1 and week 2.  We’re eyeing a one-two punch of cool, fall-ish, air that will have things feeling “out of season” yet again.

A cold front will pass through our neck of the woods Wednesday with scattered showers and thunderstorms.  We’re not looking at heavy rain totals, but potential is there for a quick 0.25″-0.75″ as the front drops through.  A couple of strong to severe storms are possible, especially south and east of the city Wednesday afternoon as this front passes.

Then we shift our eyes to an unsettled weekend.  While it won’t rain the entire time, showers and thunderstorms will be in our forecast over the weekend in front of a reinforcing (stronger) blast of cool air that will blow in early next week.  Again, rain potential isn’t terribly impressive, but we’ll take what we can get (things are turning mighty dry out there as we’re down more than 2″  MTD).  The way we see things now would suggest 0.50″-1″ type rains over the weekend.

Once to next week “cool” is the word.  Needless to say, we’re going to wrap up July with a feel that’s very much like autumn.  In fact, it wouldn’t surprise us if we set a couple records for the cool air next week.  More on that and the rain chances ahead a bit later.  Have a fantastic evening!
